Well, this has been quite a several weeks. And not in a good way. The USA has just lost its longest war. The UN announced unequivocally that humans have caused a climate breakdown that we have only a few years to stop, and it may be too late. The Delta variant is back to winning the covid war against humans. And both trumpist and neoliberal Republicans are trying to suppress democracy in Texas as Democratic lawmakers deny them a quorum. The Supreme Court recently upheld democracy suppression in Arizona, as Republicans attempt to suppress democracy everywhere and more mob attacks are planned. The Pluto Return seems in full swing, with Neptune soon to return to its civil war position and Uranus' Return due (and the corresponding 4T climax) later in the decade. Will the forces of democracy mobilize and reverse these defeats?
The Taliban has enlisted allies from countries to the north and from resurgent Al Qaeda. Just when this alliance developed is not clear. In my books I said that soon after the Dec.2020 Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, with Mars stationary squaring it, and following the earlier Saturn-Pluto one, a conflict could break out in central Asia that could develop into another US war or even a world conflict by 2025. The Uranus Return that is due (which equals the modern saeculum) means this war could be an existential threat to the USA. The imminent defeat of the USA in Afghanistan after a 20-year war is only happening now in August, 8 months later than I might have predicted, but perhaps Biden's election was a trigger, since he soon decided the USA would leave. Or the developments mentioned above could have happened around the time of the conjunction.
Given the timing of the Jupiter Return in circa 2025, which often corresponds to US wars, and the Uranus return soon after, which before indicated great US wars, it seems like the USA might return to war in Afghanistan, but perhaps not until spurred by an Al Qaeda attack in 2025. Fortunately a Saturn-Pluto square does not happen until the likely end of this conflict in circa 2029. But if a US attack on the Emirate of Afghanistan has to be taken to the north, this could bring in Russia or China and things could blow up then. The less aggressive aspects of 2025 compared to 1939 may bring some hope that a world war doesn't develop from the US going back to war in 2025, but what happens in 2029 is still uncertain.
Of course the attack on democracy has raged across the world under Pluto in Capricorn, along with the rising of the people since the Arab Spring which continues in many places despite the ruthless and growing suppression carried out by the tyrants. This is also like a world conflict. Will The West find a way to support the rising peoples against the tyrants? Will the tyrants fall as progressive forces mobilize in the new Aquarian cycle?
The civil conflict in the USA is also an existential threat to the nation. Not only do we see suppression of democracy, with democrats and Democrats fighting back as they can, but many of these same Republican traitors are also fighting on the side of the covid virus, protesting vaccines and health measures and refusing to get vaccinated, as mandates increase and will tighten in response. Biden is losing popularity, and Gov. Newsom faces a recall election, but the democratic forces must mobilize against these threats as well.
And then there's the climate crisis, the biggest of all. And we're losing that one too. Biden's election is a boon to the democratic forces on this one. But will 2 Democrat holdouts come through with enough support for the needed measures found in the reconciliation bill? That struggle is happening too over the next month or more. Meanwhile, a conference postponed by covid is happening in November. Will China, India and other countries get on board with a much-more ambitious rollback of fossil fuels? Will the USA exert enough leadership and provide enough support? If the USA cannot provide an example because of the two Democrat holdouts, what leverage will the USA have at the conference?
